 sounds good, thank you!!

 ah okay, thanks!  I just got your book and just started perusing and got some good direction there as well :-)!!  Thanks.  By the way, do I call it a Holding Fee vs Deposit? Also, if the applicant pays the holding fee and decides not to rent, do you always pro-rate and give back some of it if you get someone to rent within the month?

 Hi Nathan. Does that mean you make the deposit non-refundable and convert it to a security deposit if they move in?  Do you charge the entire value of the security deposit as the non-refundable holding fee? Finally, how long do you hold it for them?

 Thank you!!

 Thanks very much Nathan!  So you don't do upfront fees or deposits but instead additonal rent.  Have you had any pushback on that, especially for small fish tanks/ bowls?

@Nathan Gesner: 

Would you charge non-refundable pet fee and ongoing pet rent for a fish, especially if it's a small tank, say 6 gallons?

 Thank you!  That makes sense

Hi All,

I would appreciate thoughts/ considerations/ cautions for analyzing a mixed use property that has a duplex with a regular apartment next to a small storefront that's soon to be vacant? How does one anlayze the store front part? I keep wondering about insurance, vacancy rates, if tenant selection is a bigger/ different factor, terms of the tenancy and differences in opex and capex? About to go down the Youtube rabbit hole... TIA.

 Ah okay, thank you. (Yes, the delay can be a bit frustrating.) Thanks Nathan.
